Nestled at the centre is a small cluster of diamanté in two shades of purple, a deeper amethyst coloured oval anchoring three lighter round stones above it, like a tiny bunch of violets caught mid bloom. There is real dimension here between the sculptural gold shell shape and the soft sparkle at its heart, a pair that manages to feel both structured and pretty at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eKeen to add these to your collection?

The store was owned and operated by Colombian artist Helizabeth Borrero de King, offering a snapshot of her love of fashion, style, and all that glitters. A gift and jewellery store with a little taste of everything, it catered to a diverse group of locals, fashionistas, and supported artisans. The store was known for embracing community and culture, as well as bringing a unique overseas perspective to the area. Brought to you in this collection are some of the surviving pieces from the store's closure in the early 1990s. Each piece is unique and brings joy to the wearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sale\/Sold Items\/Damaged Items cannot be exchanged, refunded or returned. \u003cem\u003eColours may display differently on various devices.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apricot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44555799789661,"sku":"HBK26","price":59.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0295\/5614\/6269\/files\/VintageEarrings_49.jpg?v=1783402284","url":"https:\/\/paintedbird.nz\/products\/1980s-amethyst-diamante-shell-clip-on-earrings-vip","provider":"Painted Bird Vintage Boutique \u0026 The Aviary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
